Dr. Stephen Bennett's charming memoir, lavishly illustrated, in a beautiful hardcover edition. The life story of a larger-than-life agriculturist, veterinarian, horseracing aficionado and breeder of livestock — amongst which the once famous Buffalypso of Trinidad.

"Singing Steve", thus named for a racehorse that Dr. Bennett once owned, traces his growing up years as a child prodigy in ... here it comes .... horseracing of all things, to his university years, and his successful ventures upon his return to Trinidad, the home that he loved so dearly.

Illustrated with an cornucopia of photographs, newspaper clippings and other memorabilia from Dr. Bennett's personal archives, "Singing Steve" is the most personal and touching life story published in recent years in Trinidad and Tobago.
